Broke something in the rear need advice on upgrading.

[Benchracer]

Well it finally happened. Something broke in the rear end this weekend at the track during my launch. I havent had a chance to see exactly what it was yet but looking to upgrade the rear for near future plans of making 1000rwhp. It will be a DD street car that sees the track at least once a month and would also like to do Texas mile events and possibly take it on a road course some day. I really dont want to lose any drivability or my abs. What do you guys suggest?

Ahh, didn't know that. Definitely get a built rear end then.

No doubt I need to build it but what route should I go? Details?

With an 8.8 the sky is pretty much the limit on what you can build. When you say track use, are you talking drag strip or road track?

Moser doesn't sell their 8.8 package anymore it seems. But I'm sure there are plenty of places, including Moser, that would help you determine everything you need to get going.

Drag strip but want to leave the possibility of road coarse there too. Would something like this be everything I would need for a bullet proof rear end? I want to do it right the first time and only once.

Ok. Go it apart and it was the spider gears. Nobody any suggestions?

Nah you got to ask which exhaust sounds best to get any responses around here

I know there are a few company's out that should offer bolt in options. Guy near me just did a monster rear end in his 11

Can you say ford 9"! One thing is for sure a Ford 9 " will take anything you can throw at it!

Lol. That seems to be the case. JPC and Beefcake are my usual go to guys but I looked and didnt see on their websites what I was looking for so I went ahead and ordered the parts on the link I posted from Lethal. I guess everyone can wait and see if it works out for me. Then they can tell the next guy that posts about breaking his diff., to ask me how it holds up.

I guess either nobody on here has beefed up their rear end, or they want to keep it a secret.

I was going to suggest this, but wasn't sure how the 9" would line up fitment wise under these cars without some fab work done.

In my experience when the diff clutches wear the side gears move away from the spider gears and increase the loads on those parts due to less tooth contact area.

If it was mine I'd replace the side and spider gears along with clutch packs and call it a day.

A 9" will work with our abs system?

Thanks for the detailed response. thats the kind of post I was fishing for. :beer:

I read on Moser's site that on the 99-04 cars, ABS wouldn't work with the 9" they had, so I would imagine it wouldn't work with our's either.

The link i posted says the currie rear works with current abs systems!

Somehow looked over your link. That looks like a good option. I will see how this kit from Lethal works and if or when it breaks, I might look into that set up.
